Downing, Newell, Remsburg, Simmons, Schweiger, Foster, Ramos, Treiber. Who would be number 9 and 10 for our O-Line? We have an awesome top 8 right now.

O-Line 9 and 10
- Thread starter superiorcyclone
- Start date
Hufford likely would be one. You also forgot about Remsburg.... he's likely a starter IMO.
I think Pauls might be up there somewhere too..... and Hudson too if healthy.
The one I'm curious to know if anyone has any info on is Anthony Smith. I thought he might have a big upside when he came in.

Remsburg was playing excellent football at RT last season. I think he keeps his spot. Interesting will be the guard positions. Downing is great but he needs to stay off the IR.
I'd go with Hufford inside and Miller as the 4th tackle for now, but those spots will get worked out soon enough.
Scratch that, we already have 4 OTs in the top 8. I'd say 9 and 10 will be behind Simmons even though they appear on the 2 deep.

I think that Simmons is probably the odd man out and ends up being a utility inside guy that can play guard or Center. Chances are, he starts some games. Here's my guess:
LT: Foster, Treibur
LG: Downing, Hufford
C: Newell, Simmons
RG: Schweiger, Simmons
RT: Remsburg, Ramos
That's not even including Hudson, who I think will be in on goal line as a run blocker. I also have high expectations for Pauls and Tyler Miller. This is depth and talent that we could have only dreamed about even 3-4 years ago.

The coaches said in the spring that Hufford was pushing for a starting spot.
There’s also some noise that someone could nudge Foster out of some reps. People have been high on Treiber for a while, and the coaches also said Tyler Miller had a good spring.
At RT, my impression is that Remsburg is a monster run blocker, but Ramos is better at pass protection.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it kinda seems like Jake is kinda like KO—Ben Bruns always said he’d be better inside, and that proved out in the NFL.
There’s going to be some serious competition on the depth chart this year. And that doesn’t include Hayden Pauls, Anthony Simmons and Brady Petersen—or Zach Ross, who may be fully healthy and ready to go.
Dang. It wasn’t that long ago I’d be looking at the incoming recruits, and trying to figure out what TE or DL might switch to help out the OL. Er, was it?

Personally, I'm not impressed with Ramos's pass protection. He got benched in the bowl game because he couldn't stay in front of guys. IMO Remsburg is an all around better player. Not that Ramos can't make up ground...I thought that Foster was a lost cause as an underclassman and he had a really good year last season.
Tyler Miller is likely up there too. CMC has been saying good things about him.
Man I hope we really beat the crap out of a lot of teams so a bunch of these guys can play.
A little harsh. The guy was just getting back from an injury.
Head scratcher they didnt put Simmons in when Downing got hurt In the first game
Csnt remember the OL name now, but had never heard of him and he got lit up constantly

Jurguenson.... Jorguensen??? Something like that I believe? No idea how to spell it.
Noah Juergensen.
He was a fifth year senior walk on, and it’s only a “head scratcher” when you try to use 20-20 hindsight. When Downing went down so suddenly, Rob Hudson was hurt and they didn’t want to toss an unprepared redshirt freshman to the wolves.
CMC has a tendency not to do that, “Better to start someone too late than too soon”. Some might consider that a flaw, I suppose.
Especially after half the team had missed a big chunk of time due to COVID protocols.
Two more weeks until the TCU game gave them time to get Darrell up to speed, working with the starters. OL communication is important. Yep, I have no complaints.
Yep, that was him.
I didn't blame CMC at the time for putting Noah in, and I still don't. He didn't have too many options... and I totally understand them worrying about throwing Simmons to the wolves before they thought he might be ready.
Don't remember the name( think It might be Jorgensen) but it was a walk on that's been in the system a few years. Seemed like the likely progression. Put the guy in first that had the most time in. Then go with the talent that can learn on the go.
